Categories     dessert

Time 7h30m

Yield 8 to 10 servings

Number Of Ingredients 9

One 1-pound loaf challah bread
3/4 cup whole milk
1/4 cup packed dark brown sugar
1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
4 large eggs
One 3-ounce bar semisweet chocolate, cut into 12 pieces
4 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted
Confectioners' sugar, for serving
Pure maple syrup, for serving

Steps:

  • Cut the bread lengthwise into 1-inch-thick strips, cutting as far down through the loaf as you can without cutting all the way through. Rotate the bread 90 degrees and cut 1-inch strips in the other direction, without cutting all the way through. Put the loaf into a 1 1/2-quart oval baking dish.
  • Whisk the milk, brown sugar, cinnamon and eggs in a medium bowl until smooth. Pour the egg mixture over the bread, making sure it gets in all the crevices. Stuff the chocolate pieces in between the rows. Cover and refrigerate for 6 hours and up to overnight.
  • Preheat the oven to 325 degrees F.
  • Uncover the bread and drizzle with the butter. Put the baking dish in a larger baking dish and pour hot water into the larger dish until it comes 1 inch up the sides of the smaller dish. Bake until the eggs mixture is completely cooked and the top of the bread is dark golden brown and crispy, 60 to 65 minutes. Remove from the oven and sprinkle with confectioners' sugar. Serve with maple syrup on the side for dipping.

Time 1h55m

Yield 8 servings

Number Of Ingredients 8

1 challah loaf, sliced 3/4-inch thick
8 extra-large eggs
5 cups half-and-half or milk
3 tablespoons honey
1 tablespoon grated orange zest
1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
1/4 teaspoon kosher salt
Confectioners' sugar and pure maple syrup, for serving

Steps:

  • Preheat the oven to 350 degrees.
  • Arrange the bread in two layers in a 9 by 13 by 2-inch baking dish, cutting the bread to fit the dish. Set aside.
  • In a large bowl, whisk together the eggs, half-and-half, honey, orange zest, vanilla, and salt. Pour the mixture over the bread and press the bread down. Allow to soak for 10 minutes.
  • Place the baking dish in a larger roasting pan and add enough very hot tap water to the roasting pan to come an inch up the side of the baking dish. Cover the roasting pan tightly with aluminum foil, tenting it so the foil doesn't touch the pudding. Make two slashes in the foil to allow steam to escape. Bake for 45 minutes, remove the aluminum foil, and bake for another 40 to 45 minutes, until the pudding puffs up and the custard is set. Remove from the oven and cool slightly.
  • With a small sieve, dust lightly with confectioners' sugar and serve hot in squares with maple syrup on the side.

BAKED FRENCH TOAST WITH OAT CRUMBLE TOPPING



Baked French Toast With Oat Crumble Topping image

The beauty of a baked French toast casserole is that you can prepare it entirely in advance, usually the night before you want to serve it, then pop it into the oven about 45 minutes before you're ready to eat. This version combines toasted challah with a nutmeg-flavored custard, which is then topped with a crunchy oat crumble. Pears add a ripe and juicy note to the dish, but if you'd rather go fruitless, you can leave them out. The finished dish is sublime served with vanilla-honey syrup drizzled on top, but it is also excellent with maple syrup.

Time 5h30m

Yield 12 servings

Number Of Ingredients 20

9 cups/455 grams challah, brioche or other soft bread cut in 1-inch cubes, preferably day old (from a large, 1-pound loaf)
Butter, for the baking dish
8 large eggs
1 1/2 cups/355 milliliters whole milk
1/2 cup/118 milliliters heavy cream or crème fraîche
1/4 cup/60 milliliters honey
1 tablespoon vanilla extract
1/2 teaspoon freshly grated nutmeg
1/2 teaspoon ground cardamom
1/4 teaspoon fine sea salt
1/2 cup/63 grams all-purpose flour
1/3 cup/30 grams rolled oats (or use chopped nuts or sliced almonds)
1/3 cup/67 grams light brown sugar
2 teaspoons ground cinnamon
1 teaspoon ground ginger
1/2 teaspoon fine sea salt
1/2 cup/114 grams cold unsalted butter (1 stick), cut into cubes
1 large or 2 small pears, peeled or unpeeled as desired, cored and diced into 1/4-inch pieces (optional)
1/2 cup/118 milliliters good honey
1 vanilla bean, split lengthwise

Steps:

  • Heat oven to 450 degrees. Spread bread cubes out and toast until lightly golden, 7 to 15 minutes. Let cool.
  • Generously butter a 2-quart casserole dish or 9- by 13-inch baking dish and fill with bread cubes.
  • In a bowl, whisk together eggs, milk, cream, honey, vanilla, nutmeg, cardamom and salt until smooth. Pour over bread, tossing well. Press down on bread so it forms an even layer that is mostly submerged in custard. Cover and refrigerate for at least 4 hours and preferably overnight (or up to 48 hours ahead).
  • Heat oven to 350 degrees.
  • Prepare the topping: In a large bowl, stir together flour, oats, brown sugar, cinnamon, ginger and salt. Using your fingers or a pastry blender, cut in the butter until the mixture is crumbly. You can also pulse the topping ingredients together in a food processor if you'd rather. (The topping can be prepared up to 48 hours in advance; store covered in the refrigerator until needed.)
  • Spread diced pears, if using, evenly over the top of the bread, then cover with crumble mixture. Bake until golden and firm, 40 to 50 minutes. If you'd like a crunchier crust, broil for the final 1 to 2 minutes. Or leave the topping softer; it's good both ways.
  • Meanwhile, prepare the syrup, if desired: In a small saucepan, combine honey and 1 to 2 tablespoons water, depending upon how thick you want the syrup to be. Using a paring knife, scrape the seeds from the vanilla bean and add seeds to the pot. Bring to a simmer, then turn off the heat and let the vanilla infuse for at least 10 minutes. (Syrup can be made up to 1 week ahead.) Serve the French toast warm with the honey-vanilla syrup, or maple syrup.

Tips:

  • Choose the right bread: Use a hearty bread that can hold up to the custard, such as French bread, challah, or brioche. You can also use a combination of breads.
  • Don't overmix the custard: Overmixing can make the custard tough. Stir just until the eggs and milk are combined.
  • Let the bread pudding rest: After you pour the custard over the bread, let it sit for at least 30 minutes before baking. This will allow the bread to absorb the custard and become more flavorful.
  • Don't overbake the bread pudding: The bread pudding is done when it is set in the center and a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean. Overbaking can make the bread pudding dry.
  • Serve the bread pudding warm: Bread pudding is best served warm, but it can also be served cold.

Conclusion:

Oatmeal French Toast Bread Pudding is a delicious and easy-to-make breakfast or brunch dish. It is perfect for using up leftover bread and oatmeal. This bread pudding is also a great way to get your kids to eat their oatmeal. Serve it with fresh fruit, syrup, or whipped cream.
